Multiply by 2.

In today's lesson we saw a video about the 2 times table. You'll find the link to this video so that you can sing along whenever you want to.
You also mentioned that the 2 times table:
  • all of the answers are even numbers
  • we are counting in2's
  • we are increasing the number by adding 2
  • all of the answers are doubles.
Besides this, we also practiced by playing these games of which I am posting the link:

Here is another good song to practice counting in 2's

It has a bow.





Have is used when there are two or more persons, objects or animals.
It is used with the special pronoun I and with the pronouns You, We and They.
Have is used with the plural nouns.





They have bows.
